Duration: 1 min 49 s
Description: Former Harvard student and then Norton Professor, poet Robert Frost answered an undergraduate’s question in the early 1950s and later read one of his most famous poems, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.”

Interesting to hear how the intonation of Frost's speech is the same when he is speaking as when he is reciting.

The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Heartsrevolution - Ave Maria

“As I Walked Out One Evening” by W.H. Auden. 

    As I walked out one evening,
       Walking down Bristol Street,
    The crowds upon the pavement
       Were fields of harvest wheat.

    And down by the brimming river
       I heard a lover sing
    Under an arch of the railway:
       'Love has no ending.

    'I'll love you, dear, I'll love you
       Till China and Africa meet,
    And the river jumps over the mountain
       And the salmon sing in the street,

    'I'll love you till the ocean
       Is folded and hung up to dry
    And the seven stars go squawking
       Like geese about the sky.

    'The years shall run like rabbits,
       For in my arms I hold
    The Flower of the Ages,
       And the first love of the world.'

    But all the clocks in the city
       Began to whirr and chime:
    'O let not Time deceive you,
       You cannot conquer Time.

    'In the burrows of the Nightmare
       Where Justice naked is,
    Time watches from the shadow
       And coughs when you would kiss.

    'In headaches and in worry
       Vaguely life leaks away,
    And Time will have his fancy
       To-morrow or to-day.

    'Into many a green valley
       Drifts the appalling snow;
    Time breaks the threaded dances
       And the diver's brilliant bow.

    'O plunge your hands in water,
       Plunge them in up to the wrist;
    Stare, stare in the basin
       And wonder what you've missed.

    'The glacier knocks in the cupboard,
       The desert sighs in the bed,
    And the crack in the tea-cup opens
       A lane to the land of the dead.

    'Where the beggars raffle the banknotes
       And the Giant is enchanting to Jack,
    And the Lily-white Boy is a Roarer,
       And Jill goes down on her back.

    'O look, look in the mirror,
       O look in your distress:
    Life remains a blessing
       Although you cannot bless.

    'O stand, stand at the window
       As the tears scald and start;
    You shall love your crooked neighbour
       With your crooked heart.'

    It was late, late in the evening,
       The lovers they were gone;
    The clocks had ceased their chiming,
       And the deep river ran on.

Ubi Caritas (Taipei Male Choir)

And indeed there will be time	
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,	
Rubbing its back upon the window panes;	        
There will be time, there will be time	
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;	
There will be time to murder and create,	
And time for all the works and days of hands	
That lift and drop a question on your plate;	        
Time for you and time for me,	
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,	
And for a hundred visions and revisions,	
Before the taking of a toast and tea.	
 
In the room the women come and go	        
Talking of Michelangelo.	
 
And indeed there will be time	
To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”	
Time to turn back and descend the stair,	
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—	        
(They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”)	
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,	
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin—	
(They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”)	
Do I dare	        
Disturb the universe?	
In a minute there is time	
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.	
 
For I have known them all already, known them all:	
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,	        
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;	
I know the voices dying with a dying fall	
Beneath the music from a farther room.	
  So how should I presume?	
 
And I have known the eyes already, known them all—	        
The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,	
And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,	
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,	
Then how should I begin	
To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?	        
  And how should I presume?
